Topic: What Festool Did You buy Today? (Read 426676 times)

Im not sure if this is the right folder for this. Ive seen this sort of thread in other forums ad thought it would be cool to do here and see if you guys think the same.

I just bought a replacement hose garage for my CT 26 and a Long life bag for it. I got tired of messing around trying to empty the regular bags in the middle of a project. The hose garage, wel lets say I had a ooopps see and cracked.it. Tried to repair it but it didnt work. So I bought a new one.

Systainer 2 from Amazon came with the mail (They deliver on Sunday via FedEx to USPS.)

This empty systainer was for the Router Bit Insert so courteously sent to me by Slartibartfass who didn't need the one he had. THANK YOU!

Also got some needle size plastic tips for my CA glue dispensers. Great for inlay work and repairs of very small items! (Still fixing damage to a number of things from our household goods shipment from Germany)

I day dreamed - PD20, SYS2, MFT top,Kapex, and, and then blinked and got on with reality!

Well, technically no Festool purchase "today" but the other day I ordered the Festool shop apron that comes in a mini Systainer, and decided to order the Festool tape measure as well.

My wife and I are trying to go a little easy on the expenditures right now, which is kind of crazy right before Christmas. This year has given us double whammy on expenditures. We booked a Viking Rhine River Getaway cruise for next April, back in the summer, and our youngest daughter just got engaged, and the wedding is planned for July. I am already writing big checks for that event.

Not sure what ethnicity you are, but I would like to be apart of your family if you're paying for weddings.

I'm not getting married till 2016, but next year, the planning starts, and in my culture (Vietnamese background), the guy pays for everything and it blows! Thank god my girlfriend is low maintenance and as said earlier, she got me a Festool T18 for our anniversary. I'm hopefully going to seal the deal for $30,000. Her higher maintenance older sister got married 2 years ago and the wedding cost $85,000. What a sucker.

I think the Vietnamese tradition is indeed a good one! Our oldest daughter is married, but she was quite frugal (and still is). Total cost was about $5K. Younger daughter has more expensive tastes, but she knows she cannot go wild. Maybe booking that Rhine River cruise was good way to set expectations that we would have to be a little tighter on budgets. I'm guessing $15K or so. I cannot imagine spending $85K on a wedding!

The Fein SuperCut can also be purchased in a T-Loc systainer these days.But I think you are already aware of that? But alas the Fein has no DF version and is a SYS 1, which is a little tight.I especially like the DF version for storing sawblades.But the plunge-base and depth stop which include the Vecturo Set wins hands down.Cheapest SuperCut version is €439 and the Vecturo Set version is €515. The difference is only €76.Although I'm a big Fein fan I would also go for the Vecturo Set version.I once read a rumour on the FOG that the SuperCut would also be upgraded and that's the reason they are now offered in a T-Loc systainer.

I got a Vecturo set today. I really struggled between it and the new Multimaster, but the Vecturo won simply because it comes in a systainer. Systainers are very bittersweet indeed.

That's the trouble I think like that , I bought the Trion jigsaw even though I had a perfectly good Bosch ,just as it was "part of the system" [emoji3]

I had a go of the vecturo recently and I'm afraid I thought the new multimaster was better. Maybe after a longer play with one I might change my mind but after using them both the multimaster felt quicker ,quieter and had much less vibration.

Yeah the attachments for the vecturo and the plug-it will help sell it I'm sure.
